Geotechnical at Beca


Developing and implementing solutions to complex problems, our team is helping to shape the world we live in across the Asia Pacific region - from highways to airports, from buildings and reservoirs to bridges and tunnels.

We offer the opportunity to build a career path within a fascinating industry in a business line that offers variety, challenge and tremendous growth potential.

We embrace the fact that people are our greatest asset. Our people set us apart and who our clients keep coming back to.

Passionate about what we do and the culture we have developed, the key to our success is the teamwork and collaboration fostered across the Beca Group.

This culture allows us to deliver excellence in technical work, client service and innovation in all we do.


Work-life balance means a lot of different things to different people, and we know that it's not always easy juggling work with everything else life throws at us, which is why we are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements for all opportunities in the Beca team.


The opportunity


Over 250 people from a broad range of different engineering disciplines work out of our Wellington office, which has a depth of knowledge and exciting office culture that enables our people to play a huge role in the day-to-day life of people in the Wellington region.


To be part of our growth in the region, we are looking for a Geotechnical Engineer to join us in Wellington.

This role will provide opportunities in business development, client relationship management and technical delivery.

This will be a varied role that includes supporting and delivering projects with support from our technical specialists, liaising with clients, guiding and growing more junior team members.

You will plan and execute field assignments, prepare technical proposals and reports, undertake design and design management, and liaise with clients.

Working alongside a national team of Geotechnical specialists across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands, the forward workload is strong and varied.


About you
You love to learn and share knowledge and can bring a fresh perspective. You are a qualified Geotechnical Engineer with a passion and good problem-solving skills.

Having recently completed a graduate programme in a similar consulting or contracting environment, you will also have an inquiring mind, able to problem solve and think laterally.

How you work is also important to us - we will value your enthusiasm and motivation to continue learning from your peers and more senior team members.


Working amongst a group of highly motivated professionals, you will step into an open and supportive culture that values the skills you contribute to the group.


What we offer
A career with Beca will provide you with the following:

  • Professional development opportunities.
  • A supportive and caring work environment where you can bring your whole self to work.
  • Flexible working arrangements to balance your personal / family commitments.
  • Opportunities to learn from our industry experts and technical gurus across the Asia-Pacific.
  • Highly supportive environment of sharing and collaboration.
  • Excellent benefits provided to all staff including discounted health insurance, discounts on gym memberships, and a huge number of social club events.


Beca prides itself on supporting a diverse and inclusive culture - open to inputs from creative people of all genders, ethnicity, identity, thought and experiences.


Ready to make the move?
